SLOW JAM

Originally posted by zico Slow Jam IMO is a reasonably decent album track but contains the worst lyrics ever written by Barney

You've obviously forgotten about "State Of The Nation" then - lyrically flatulent Barney-isms throughout: "My brother said/that he was dead/I saw his face and shook my head........I drove in my stolen car/when it broke down/I kissed theground/Cos I don't kiss when you're around......" Bet his rhyming dictionary was cringing as well.

So get writing then - aim your angry missiles at those turdbrains at London Records - and force them to reissue the fuckin' album again with the four other songs: Here To Stay/Sabotage(RTRD)/Player In The League/Dream On in place of Joe Slam You Rotten Shag.... god know's I've written to the bastards often enough.!!

Seriously, I still can't see why... I love that song! And I don't like all New Order songs, but this one is very catchy...

Well, we can't enjoy all the same songs :D

Maybe the lyrics are weak, but as far as I know, this is part of New Order! Cheesy lyrics..

And calling that the worst musical effort is maybe a little too far from reality.. if you're saying this is worst than, let's say, Angel Dust, Let's Go or The Village...

Anyway, I rest my case, it seems to be one of those songs you either like or hate :D

Look, I know you don't like "Let's Go" because of the backwards masked line "All French Canadians are homosexuals and should be taken out and shot", but dissing "The Village" ? Pourquoi ? "Angel Dust" is one of my favourites too.

I admit being a bit slow for liking the music of Leonard Cohen. And I also think that I like webmaster Sèbastian Boisvert for the patience - although I don't know him; - for a conversation away back. I think I've finally understood his words I received in a mail "What the fuck!" when I went on and on and on and trying to tell him how fine website he and Nicholas had made about my favourite band. And I was trying ask and ask again why conversing and practise chat to get to know someone here was insulting, when the only apparently mistake was a link to worldinmotion when I was exchanging some words/conversing with Marco Pheil a six months ago.

From the "Slow One"

That's how it goes on the net, isn't it?

It's all focused on sex, so if you want to talk to a man about your fave interest, New order, you're gay, if you're conversing with a woman you're hetero and if you're talking to both - then maybe you're transexual or something - and if you're writing an accepted message you're masochist and if you're write an honest opinion, you're a sadist or something?

Come on Huntsy, Revenge were'nt that bad, I still play the album regularly and still enjoy it!

C'mon yourself, Muffy... :) I like '7 seconds' but even the Hookster admits the only purpose of Revenge was to be able to tour.

I love 'The Village', it can make you feel so good.

Personnally, I see it as a pre-Face Up. Anyone shares that opinion ?

Ah yes, the Norwegian Blue. Beautiful Plumage ! :D

Definitely, it's got that bouncy feel to it. And we all like bouncy feels, don't we ?

Nope, "The Village" just stands on its own, and its fucking glorious. And anyone who says otherwise has no pulse. Mad bastard sequncer-on-speed on this one as well: forget proto-"Face-Up", if this isn't primal proto-acid house then I'm a Port Vale fan.

But then I also still like that bloody Revenge album, so obviously there's no help for me.

M.

I see that some of u guys are talkin bout listening 2 Montreaux...I've only got the tracks from the NO Story video, and I thought they were g8 performances, though the were playing in the Moon Concert hall, yeah? NO ATMOSPHERE!!! Do you guys have v.good quality cd's of this, or any other gigs? If you do, I'd like to buy...I've got tapes of Glastonbury '93, and Reading '98 DVD and they are GR8...

Yeah, I agree too: The Village is the most upbeat song on PC&L, so what the fuggin hell is wrong with that?

"7 seconds"???? When did Hooky do a cover of the Neneh Cherry/Youssou N'dour hit? I suppose you mean "7 Reasons"......

Yes, '7 Reasons' was what I meant, of course... :)
